About the Project
Tangible Scents - Composition of Rose in the Air - is an open-air installation which uses Maki Ueda's original method of “de-and re-construction in the air” to decode on the scent of rose. The five major components of the this scent are individually infused into vats of soap, which will each be poured into five different bubble machines. You can deconstruct rose into its component  scents by poking the bubbles, or immerse yourself in the total scent. (curator: Aersen Lease, artistic director for the Reed Arts Week Festival 2018)

Olfactory artist Maki Ueda (JP/NL) considers smell a ‘new media’. In her practice, she minimizes the influence of other senses in order to center the spectator’s attention on her fragrant gestures. In addition to her own creative work, she has also taught a course on olfactory art at the ArtScience Interfaculty of The Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (NL) since 2009. While Ueda is currently based in Okinawa, Japan, she works all over the world.
